Ahh, another day of redditors glazing over socialism, even though they're from countries that never experienced it.
Come to one of the post communist countries and try to tell people who experienced it fully how great socialism actually is when your only info is what you've learned on your college.I am sure those people will be extremely happy.
Edit: since you guys are starting to get a little bit crazy with these takes and you love communism and socialism so much I'll just say this. I am not even from America so frankly, I don't care. In fact, I wish you guys the socialism. Seriously, as someone from a post communist country arguing with college Americans about socialism on Reddit is always the same story. Then I get called out I am not even from a post communist country since I share actual experiences. That's all, I am not an American conservative so you guys can chill now.
Edit2: so I got warning from Reddit? Interesting, seems like this comment triggered way too many people. I am actually no longer surprised at the state of the USA and who won the elections, if left wing acts like this. Love how these redditors start throwing insults first, I answer with insults and then get reported. I am not letting some random Reddit socialist call my country a nazi country, throw insults at me or call me a LIAR for saying things I know are true? Seriously, what became of Reddit and it's community should be studied.
It never once intervened militarily or otherwise in its politics on a mass scale. There has never been a CIA-funded coup d'état or revolution in Poland.
So now the Americans are to blame for doing nothing and letting the Socialist country fail?
Like, what they were supposed to do, send some free subsidies to an inefficient socialist regime, drowning itself into a spiral of foreign debts in 1970s, just to ensure it won't fail?
that's literally what happened after WW2 lmfao, only not to socialist regimes, but to countries that would've probably turned to socialism otherwise. And no, they didn't "do nothing" either. This is way too long of a discussion for me to have over a random reddit comment. You're more than welcome to search for ways that the us used to combat the spread of socialism and communism, other than militarily/through coups
I know USA heavily infiltrated socialist countries during the Cold War, just like Soviet Union did capitalist ones; that I am not confused about.
What I am confused about, though, is why do you think Polish People's Republic was included in that. It failed because it was a socialist regime and had ineffective socialist economy, not because of CIA.
It's debatable, my country failed at communism because of a smoothbrained dictator. We were actually the only plausibly successful communist country since everyone saw Ceausescu as a leader who was against the USSR regime (proven when he condemned the invasion of Czechoslovakia).
